Myna is also a ornamental bird that my friends keep a lot. Because it is naturally intelligent and good at imitating human speech, it is also a bird that my friends like. Although it is relatively simple in feeding, we are raising myna We must pay attention to it because starlings are very particular about life, and we also need to train starlings when raising starlings, otherwise they will be no different from ordinary starlings, and they are not born to speak.
1. Feeding: Eggs and rice are the best feed for myna. The preparation method of egg rice is: put the rice into the pot, stir fry it with slow heat until it is yellow but not burnt, pour it into the basin, mix the stirred raw egg liquid into the rice while it is still hot, stir well, cool it and break it open, Can be rubbed. Generally, 4 to 6 eggs are added per kilogram of rice, and ants, worms, lean meat, tender green vegetables, bananas, etc. are added in an appropriate amount. Starlings have strong digestion and a large appetite.

Feeding of young birds: The feed of young birds is mainly mynah powder, and its formula is: 150 grams of corn meal, 270 grams of inner powder, 20 grams of boiled eggs, 05-1 grams of bone meal , 50 grams of soybean powder, 20 grams of fish powder, 20 grams of silkworm chrysalis powder, and 10 grams of green vegetable puree. Add water to the powder to make a semi-dry and semi-wet paste, and feed it with a bamboo spoon, 5-8 times a day, and feed it when it can feed itself. 30 grams of hard-boiled eggs, 10 grams of green vegetable puree, and 0.5-1.0 grams of bone meal. When the feathers are full, they are fed to adult birds. There are many experiences that show that it is also good to feed baby starlings with animal equipment such as shelled shrimp and silkworm chrysalis, which are widely used chicken compound feeds.
3. Feeding of adult birds: Myna is easy to raise. The food for feeding mynah adults is mainly eggs, rice or chicken compound feed plus eggs, and a jar of soft material (same as young) is fed every morning. Birds), if you feed some insects, it will be better.
4. Food and environmental hygiene: Myna eats a lot and pulls a lot, and the feces have a fishy smell, so the bottom of the cage and the fecal support board should be cleaned once a day, and some fine sand can be placed on the bottom of the cage. To prevent contamination of myna's toes. The bird's food should be fresh, especially soft materials and powder materials that are prone to spoilage. It is generally required to eat them within 1-2 hours. The food tank should be cleaned every day, and new drinking water should be replaced. Other cages should be cleaned 3-3 times a week. - 4 times.
5. Water bathing: Myna likes water bathing, usually once every 1-2 days, stop water bathing during moulting period, and reduce water bathing in winter. In the rainy season, the high temperature should appropriately increase the water bath. The water bath can be carried out in a bath cage, or you can put a shallow basin of water in the cage and let it take a water bath by itself, and you can also use a watering can to spray water on the bird. If the weather is cooler, the bird should be placed in the sun after the water bath to allow the feathers to dry quickly.
6. Disease prevention and control: Starlings are most likely to catch colds, especially in winter when the temperature is low. Therefore, management should be strengthened in winter to prevent birds from freezing. If you have a cold, you can use a paper twister to pass through the nostrils to twist out the mucus, and then use vegetable oil to drip into the nostrils to make the nostrils unobstructed.
